Shared Illusions

We had a MUCH more comfortable drive returning to Lyon from Domme than getting there. We left about 8 am, so it was cooler. Plus it was overcast. So different from that so hot drive without air conditioner on the 7th. 

Our welcome at the Gîte we had booked in Le was non-existent. The host had not responded to Ed’s emails prior to our arrival,  nor did he respond to our phone calls that we had arrived and were waiting for him to allow us entry.

Plan B. Find another place. Not so easy when the 38th annual medieval festival,  Roi de L’Oiseau, was commencing.

Called a few places. Complet. Third try, we got lucky – the last room at the Dyke hotel. Decent price and breakfast of French bread, croissant,  coffee. The room faced a busy street and a bar, so the noise didn’t abate much, but we did manage to sleep some.

Would have been nice to experience the Renaissance Fair,  but the Chemin called!
